SUMMARY

From a functionality perspective sporting both XMP and EXPO profiles, the Lexar ARES RGB DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz Memory worked its way through our test suite on both Intel and AMD platforms with ease. Its RGB capabilities give it a good look to pair with its performance. The only issue we have is with its pricing at the time of publication, which lands north of its competition for comparable performance and features.
